Donald Trump Quote on The Current Real Estate Market

gmac1 — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 18:39:25 +0000

In an August 13, 2008 interview on ABC’s Good Morning America, Donald Trump discusses real estate, buying foreclosures, and his feelings about the real estate market in general.

“This is a great time to buy. Now is the time to start looking, and start buying. Over the course of the next year, this is going to be the time to buy. If you don’t do it, you are going to be very, very dissapointed in the years to come. This is the bottom of the market. It may go down a little, or it may not, but this is about the bottom of the market.”

AZ Down Payment Assistance

gmac1 — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 19:06:24 +0000

Arizona Down Payment Assistance

The American Dream Down Payment Act is a down payment assistance initiative that allows grants to be given to participating jurisdictions to assist low-to-mid-income families and uniformed employees such as, policemen, firemen, sanitation, maintenance workers, and teachers who are employees of the participating state to achieve homeownership.

Grants made available under this initiative may be used only for down payment assistance toward the purchase of single family housing by eligible families. The allocation formula for the grant amounts are done by considering the state of Arizona or the participating jurisdiction’s prior year’s commitment to assistance to homebuyers, the formula shall consider amounts committed to such purpose under the home investment partnerships program, the community development block grant program, mortgage revenue bonds, and prior year’s funding from State and local governments, provided that the data underlying such funding is uniform, verifiable, and accurate by the State and local government, and shall consider other factors that the Secretary determines to be appropriate.

$7,500 Tax Credit Program Overview

gmac1 — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 06:27:46 +0000

$7,500 Homebuyers Tax Credit Overview

The Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 (H.R. 3221) signed into law by President Bush in July offers first-time homebuyers a tax credit equal to 10% of the cost of their home up to $7,500. This tax credit is available to first-time homebuyers who purchase a home in the United States as their principal residence on or after April 9, 2008, and before July 1, 2009.

To qualify as a first-time homebuyer, you cannot have owned an interest in a principal residence in the past three years from the date of the qualifying purchase.

To qualify for the full amount of the tax credit, you must earn no more than $75,000 if filing as Single or Head of Household. If filing a joint return, the buyers may have a combined income of no more than $150,000. There is a phase out of the credit if reported income is more than $75,000.

The tax credit allows you to deduct the credit from your total tax liability for the year in which the credit is taken. Also, the tax credit is “refundable,” meaning that the taxpayer can receive a tax refund if the credit is greater than the estimated liability.

This tax credit must be repaid. However, the repayment period is 15 years unless the home is resold before the end of that period, and there is no interest on the amount of the credit that is received. Repayment of the credit begins two years after the credit is claimed and is repaid in increments of 6.67% per year of the credit amount.

Essentially, the tax credit is a 15-year interest free loan from the government. Money today is worth more than an equal amount of money in the future, making the tax credit a fantastic opportunity that any first-time homebuyer cannot afford to miss.
